It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear mother, grandmother, great grandmother and friend on Wednesday, July 20, 2011 at the age of 76. Mom was born in Red Deer Hill District on March 16, 1935. She met Walter Chester and the two were married October 4, 1952. Together they raised four children on a farm south of Prince Albert.
